WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
r. c. Dun & Cos Reports for This
Week ola Depressing Nature.

New YORK, Nov. Ar. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say: Not
withstanding slow collections IN many
quarters, and some failures of unpleasant
significance, the prevailing feeling is that
at the most serious points the dull season
has been weathered, and trade and in
dustries have been warned in season to
check unsafe expansion. The volume of
business continues large. whether judged
by the reports from money centers and by
bank exchanges outside of Nwe York,
which exceed last year by about 81 per
cent, or by railroad tonnage, which re-
suits in an increase of abont 10 per cent
over last years reported earnings. In
spite of an increase of s13, 0OO, 900 in cur
rency in circulation during October, fol-
lowing the increase of S34, 900, 600 in Sep
TENDER, prices do not advance much.
Stocks, after some days of recovery,
show hesitation again, with evidence that
some foreign holders are raising.
Wheat has declined about per ceut for
the week, corn 4c,oats &c. coffee and
lard 1c each, and cotton 1-16c, while beef
falls to an average of S4.15 and hogs 10c
lower
Oil has been lifted &c by the combina-
ton to put down, sugar shade higher by
reports regarding the trust, and tin and
copper by speculative operators in the
nature of coiners. Wool is still in buy
er's favor. A borax trust is expected to
raise the prices. Rice reports arc contra
dictory. Buyers hold off in sugar The
demand is Stacking up in tea and irregu-
lar in coffee and spice dealers require
patience In general better prices APP
pear only where there are effective trade
The long hesitation in the steel rail |
market is broken by lower prices, sales
for Northwestern and New England de-
livery having been made on basis of s23
at the mill. Pig iron is weaker at Pitts
burg and offers of No. 1 Southern at $50
are reported here. Bar is not so strong.
The architectural demand slackens,
and nails are dull. The signs indicate
;ome shrinkage in consumption just when
new works are about to increase the out
put largely. :.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
TO TEACHERS.

Teachers should always be on time.
To be late sets a bad example, which the
pupils are sure to follow. To take the
time of two Rotations to hear one en-
courages bad lessons, and an Indifferent
recitation; well prepared recitation can
be heard in one-half the time that it takes
to talk about lesson of which the pu
pills know nothing. Better not try to ex-
plain lesson to a class, without the
class has made an honest effort to pre-
pare and understand the lesson previous
to time of recitation; the pouring in
method is to say the least obsolescent,
and hasten the day when we may say it
is obsolete.
Teachers like to talk, they like to tell
what they know under the mistaken no
ton that they are doing the people ia
vor. Such is not the case; whatever the
pupil can find out for himself, being di
rected by the teacher, will be remember
ed. The teachers duty is to direct, adj
wise, suggest and help, but never to learn
the lesson for the pupil, or recite it for
him. Some teachers like certain lessons
better than others. They are likely to
spend too much time on those lessons to
the detriment of others. Singing is good
IN school, but when a teacher spends an
hour and half day in singing, that
teacher is clearly neglecting her duty.
Have no pets in school. Many good
teacher has failed because of using par
TALLY in their school. All children can
not be equally as well dressed, or possess
ed of equally as sweet dispositions, but
they have the same wright TO our time,
our encouragement and our smiles, as If
they were the same in every particular.
The homes are not the same; the little
ones are not to blame for that. But if a
teacher is partial they soon learn it, and
the bad boys become worse. and the
sighted girl becomes discouraged.
These are few of the rocks that
wreck so many teachers, and all teachers
should steer clear of them.

front of tho cell door, thrust his hands
into his pockets and looked straight be-
fore him upon the contracted field of his
vision. He saw nothing but clusters
of reporters and suspicious muscular
balllffs. He was nervous. He would
lean against the wall, sit down on the
edge of the lot, get up, put his elbows
on the cross bars of his cell, and rest
his face on his hands. a favorite atti-
tude was to stand firmly erect, fold his
arms over his broad chest and gaze out
bristIing and ferocious. None of the
seven were let out of their cells this
morning, and Jailer Folz says they won't
be to-day.
Mrs. Schwab, Mrs Engel, and Mrs
Parsons, came to see their husbands,
but the best they could do was to call
out "good morning an d send up some
papers. Nopackages of any sort were
allowed to go in. Nina Van Zandt was
there. Good morning, she called out
to Spies. Good morning, he returned,
and that was the end of the dialogue
between them. She wrote note which
the jallor read and sent up to Spies.
All the mail was broken and examined.
This morning, the first time since sheir
imprisonment, kilograms were torn open
and read. All private communications
with their friends are stopped and will
continue to be until the day of execu-
ton, if that comes.
Captain Black and Moses Solomon
came to the jail at ten o'clock. Black
had only stepped into the Office when
jailer Folz took him into his private Of
fee, talked earnestly to him. Black talked
with each of his clients at their cell
doors.

No we will 60 right ahead with the
petitions and ask clemency for Lingg,

1t is reported that the police have
discovered eleven dynamite boms which
we're secreted in the house of an anarch-

NO MANS LAND.

While it is known by everybody in
this part of the cauntry that there is q
piece of territory about one hundred and
sixty miles long and about forty miles
wide, bounded on the north by Kansas
and Colorado, and on the east by the In
dian Territory, on the south by Texas,
and on the west by New Mexico, which
does moi belong to any State or territory,
the fact is not known in the country
generally. 1t is known in the vicinity as
NO Mans Land" 1t has no govern
ment which is sanctioned by the Federal
Government no court has Jurisdiction
over it, no criminal can be arrested there
on, and the collector of internal revenue
has no terror for dealers in the articles
upon which he collects taxes. 1t may be
assumed that such land is a refuge for
the lawless. but those who make such an
assumption are in error. The settlers
there, who, by the way, cannot secure
titles to lands because no SURVEYS can be
made IN an unrecognized tract of land,
see to it that tie law breaker is punished
by provisions which they themselves
have made and which are vigorously ex-
ecuted. The result, it is said, is that no
community in the country is freer from
crime and criminals than that of No Mans
Land. The residents, however, are anx-
ious to have territorial government
under the authority of the United States
and have arranged to hold an election
Tuesday for the choice Of delegate to
Congress and members of q territorial
legislature and territorial SectetAsy.

places where currency is abundant, both

AN ANARCHISTS PLOT.
Four Powerful Bombs Found in the
Cell of Louis Lingg.
The Terrible instruments OF
Death Secreted in an limo
cent Looking Soap Box.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE sheme to fur
nish Lingg with booms, which were dis
covered in his cell yesterday, was
evidently carefully thought out by some
of his co-partners in crime on the out
side. Several days ago fancy soap
box was brought to the Jail, and just in
the heat of excitement. The officials
say they cannot remember who deliver
ed it They may know who it was,
but if they do, they will not say so I'M
til they have made some arrests. The
box was harmless looking affair, and
it was handled by the deputy IN rough
manner. The Jail officials unually do
these things. Hasty examination dis
closed the fact that to all appearances
it contained nothing more than a few
delicacies, for which even such a ''hu-
man tiger" as Lingg, has an appetite.
Had the police and deputies known
that there were bombs lying around il
such close proximity they would not
have felt so easy, but they were IN ig-
norance Of any danger, and they would
probably have continued so had it not
been for the raid on Linggs cell. It
was then that the insignificant looking
soap box was found to have false bot
tom and it was underneath it that four
bombs had been struggled into the Jail.
Sheriff Matson said this morning:
Captain Setback opened one of the
bombs last night and took out a small
portion of the contents. He exploded
it and found it to be very powerful.
An analysis is being made and expect
to receive report of this to-day.
When il is secured | will not hesitate
to make it public.
II am disguised, " said Captain Bon
field, at the cowardice of the men who,
although prominent, have no strength
of mind, and who knock each other
down in an effect to get to the front and
sign the petitions through fears that
their property will be lost to them, in
case Of a hanging. They only cause
the people to sign the petitions faster.
1 tell you when people get scared you can
expect them to do almost anything. A
great many believe the police placed
the bombs in Lingg's cell and this belief
will make them all the more eager to
sign the petition. l don't believe
one of them will be hung, but all
will 90 down to the penitentiary. 1t is
because that when such men are found
guilty there should be so many towards
to Pray for communication OF their SEN
tence.h
Louis Lingg is defiant and sullen.
This morning he put on his Oldest suit
of clothes, pair of gray corduroy trous-
ers and black jacket, put his feet up
on the little iron cot and began to read
a paper. His cell is on the lower tier,
and looks out upon the examining cage.
The reporters may examine him at a
distance of eight feet. Lingg was rest
less, and every few moments he would
jerk his head around and stare through
the crate door with wild look. Pre-
